Default Planning on new headlights

Well, I was thinking of getting some projector headlights so that I can use some H.I.D.s with them because I'm use to the amount of light from my rsx. I'm having a hard time deciding which lights I should purchase. It's between the TYC and the no name brand ones and I'm also having a difficult time deciding if i should get the blackout ones or the chrome ones. I know some may think it's a waste and I know it's up to me as in do as I like. Just wanted some opinions.
First two are the TYCs and the last two are the same just black and chrome.
I have a white 4dr lx. (I'm leaning towards the chrome ones because I think they would look alright on a white car)
thanks

those arent meant for hids so it will still have glare and still be illegal, but i would go black cause as stated before chrome is no bueno. Why not just paint the stock ones black? Would look better IMO

Not necessarily. If the cutoff is stepped, like many ebay projectors are nowadays, then glare will be very similar to the amount of glare produced by a retrofit or a car with factory HIDs.

they wont even be close to factory HID's or a retrofit i have built many retrofits in the shop i work in and those are meant for halogen lights and whether they are stepped or not they wont be comparable to retrofits which are factory hids put in different lights. Yes they will have some sort of cutoff but still will have glare and spotting

what car the one in your sig i assume lol im sick and a little slow today haha, but do you have hids already and just wanting the projectors? Any specific kind you want? I already have a 99-00 set made up as i try to keep some ahead of time in the shop since its slow. That way we always get the business if people want them.
